Labour chords and lyrics - PARIS PALOMA

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
(One, two, three)
[Am]Why are you hanging on[Dm]
So [F]tight
To the rope that I'm hanging [G]from
Off this [Am]island?
This was an escape plan
[Dm](this was an escape plan)
Carefully [F]timed it so that we'd go
[G]And dive into the waves below

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Who tends the orchar[C]ds?
Who fixes up the [F]gables?
Emotional tor[E]ture
From the head of your high [Am]table
Who fetches the wat[C]er
From the rocky mountain [F]spring?
And walk back down a[E]gain
To feel your words and their [F]sharp sting?

[Chorus 1]
And I'm getting fucking tired
[Am]The capillaries in m[C]y eyes are bursting
[F]If our love died [G]would that be the worst [Am]thing?
For somebody I [C]thought was my saviour
You [F]sure make me do a [G]whole lot of la[Am]bour
The callous skin on [C]my hands is cracking
[F]If our love ends [G]would that be a bad [Am]thing?
And the silence [C]haunts our bed chamber
[F]You make me do [G]too much labour

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dm]
[F](Yo[G]u make me do too much labour)

[Verse 2]
[Am]Apologies from my tong[Dm]ue
And never [F]yours
Busy lapping from flowing [G]cup
And stabbing with your [Am]fork
I know you're a smart man
[Dm](I know you're a smart man)
And weapon[F]ize the false incompe[G]tence

[Pre-chorus 2]
It's dominance under a guise
[Am]If we had a daughter[C]
I'd watch and could not [F]save her
Emotional tor[E]ture
From the head of your high [Am]table
She'd do what you taught [C]her
She'd meet the same [F]cruel fate
So now I've gotta [E]run
So I can undo this [F]mistake

[Chorus 2]
At least I've gotta try
[Am]The capillaries in m[C]y eyes are bursting
[F]If our love died [G]would that be the worst [Am]thing?
For somebody I [C]thought was my saviour
You [F]sure make me do a [G]whole lot of la[Am]bour
The callous skin on [C]my hands is cracking
[F]If our love ends [G]would that be a bad [Am]thing?
And the silence [C]haunts our bed chamber
[F]You make me do [G]too much labour

[Bridge 1]
[Am]All day, every day
Therapist, mother, maid
Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant
[Am]Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
[Am]Twenty-four seven [C]baby machine
So [F]he can live out his [G]picket fence dreams
[Am]It's not an act of [C]love if you make her
[F]You make me do [G]too much labour

[Bridge 2]
[Am]All day, every day
[C]Therapist, mother, maid
[F]Nymph then a virgin, [G]nurse then a servant
[Am]Just an appendage, [C]live to attend him
[F]So that he never [G]lifts a finger
[Am]Twenty-four seven [C]baby machine
So [F]he can live out his [G]picket fence dreams
[Am]It's not an act of [C]love if you make her
[F]You make me do [G]too much labour

[Chorus 3]
[Am]The capillaries in m[C]y eyes are bursting
[F]If our love died [G]would that be the worst [Am]thing?
For somebody I [C]thought was my saviour
You [F]sure make me do a [G]whole lot of la[Am]bour
The callous skin on [C]my hands is cracking
[F]If our love ends [G]would that be a bad [Am]thing?
And the silence [C]haunts our bed chamber
[F]You make me do [G]too much labour
